QuestionHi,
I recently noticed my turtle has a big lump on the side of his head. Do you know what that can be. It is only recent and he is in a tank by himself.
Thank you
Christine
AnswerThis is called an 'ear abscess' and represents a lump of infection. As much as I hate to say it, there really is not an effective home solution- it requires a vet visit.
